Exodus 2:8-17

8And Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 to her, GoH3212. And the maidH5959 wentH3212 and calledH7121 the child’sH3206 motherH517. 9And Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323 saidH559 unto her, TakeH3212 this childH3206 awayH3212, and nurseH3243 it for me, and I will giveH5414 thee thy wagesH7939. And the womanH802 tookH3947 the childH3206, and nursedH5134 it. 10And the childH3206 grewH1431, and she broughtH935 him unto Pharaoh’sH6547 daughterH1323, and he became her sonH1121. And she calledH7121 his nameH8034 MosesH4872: and she saidH559, Because I drewH4871 him out of the waterH4325.1

11And it came to pass in those daysH3117, when MosesH4872 was grownH1431, that he went outH3318 unto his brethrenH251, and lookedH7200 on their burdensH5450: and he spiedH7200 an EgyptianH376H4713 smitingH5221 an HebrewH5680, one of his brethrenH251. 12And he lookedH6437 this wayH3541 and that wayH3541, and when he sawH7200 that there was no manH376, he slewH5221 the EgyptianH4713, and hidH2934 him in the sandH2344. 13And when he went outH3318 the secondH8145 dayH3117, behold, twoH8147 menH582 of the HebrewsH5680 stroveH5327 together: and he saidH559 to him that did the wrongH7563, Wherefore smitestH5221 thou thy fellowH7453? 14And he saidH559, Who madeH7760 theeH376 a princeH8269 and a judgeH8199 over us? intendestH559 thou to killH2026 me, as thou killedstH2026 the EgyptianH4713? And MosesH4872 fearedH3372, and saidH559, SurelyH403 this thingH1697 is knownH3045.2 15Now when PharaohH6547 heardH8085 this thingH1697, he soughtH1245 to slayH2026 MosesH4872. But MosesH4872 fledH1272 from the faceH6440 of PharaohH6547, and dweltH3427 in the landH776 of MidianH4080: and he sat downH3427 by a wellH875. 16Now the priestH3548 of MidianH4080 had sevenH7651 daughtersH1323: and they cameH935 and drewH1802 water, and filledH4390 the troughsH7298 to waterH8248 their father’sH1 flockH6629.3 17And the shepherdsH7462 cameH935 and drove them awayH1644: but MosesH4872 stood upH6965 and helpedH3467 them, and wateredH8248 their flockH6629.
